If you’re going to be around Bennington, Vermont, this Saturday, get over to the sprawling, carefully landscaped Hemmings’ headquarters at 222 Main Street for the first annual Vintage International Auto Day–a special event to celebrate the launch of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine next month!
There will be food and entertainment with an international flair (No, that doesn’t mean mimes and French fries, smart aleck) plus Hemmings’ own free classic car display will be open. As always, Hemmings editors will be on hand sniffing out possible stories and feature cars for upcoming issues. So, if you’re the proud owner of a sports car or an exotic, shine it up and bring it over. It could wind up in the magazine! Admission is free, but the show is limited to the first 250 pre-1980-vintage sports and exotic cars built in France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and Sweden. Trophies will be awarded and winners will be featured in the premiere issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
